I think you're right, but with the caveat that it is only 'getting by'. I don't know if a better solution could be found, but it's definitely easy to spot some glaring issues with influence through misinformation. Most consensus solutions only work as well as the subjects in the consensus are educated on what they are deciding for/against. The problem we have with crypto voting is the same problem we see in any modern day democracy. Many people simply will not take the time to educate themselves fully before making a decision on where they stand and throwing their voice into the crowd, whether that's through social media, or signaling through their hardware.
